Oven baked Moin Moin recipe – I know making Moin moin in the oven is not a new thing for most of us but the question I always hear is, how can I bake Moin Moin (moi moi) in the Oven without it getting dry and crispy at the edge? I will show you how to go about making your Oven baked Moin Moin that will be moist, yet firm just like the steamed method.

Moin Moin which has several other names like Moi Moi, Moyin Moyin, or Olele is a savory meal which almost everyone likes in Nigeria

Another question I often get asked is, can I use the Nigerian Honey Beans (Ewa Oloyin) or the Nigerian Brown Beans for making Moin Moin? and my answer is always Yes. You can definitely use any of these varieties of Beans.

Notes:

I used both Palm oil and vegetable Oil for this recipe but feel free to use either of the two

Make sure the peeled Beans is really soft before blending it, this will help prevent gritty Beans batter which is not good for a good Moin Moin

Blend your Beans with a very good Blender until it as fine as it could be. I use Ninja but there are other good ones out there also

Stirring the blended Beans is very important as this will introduce air into the batter which will in turn give the Moin Moin a good texture.

Feel free to bake the Moin Moin in any pan size but I will recommend using a smaller pan so that the Moin Moin will not over stay in the Oven since a bigger pan will take longer to get done.
